Prospect Heights is the wedge of Brooklyn bounded by Flatbush Avenue, Atlantic Avenue, Eastern Parkway and Washington Avenue, with Vanderbilt Avenue running through the middle. Our list for the area is drawn wider than those lines. Alta Calidad on Vanderbilt, Finn's Corner on Washington and 333 Lounge on Flatbush sit in or on the edge of the neighborhood, while the biggest cluster lines Fulton Street just north of Atlantic, from Bar Francis at number 810 to Bati Ethiopian Kitchen at 1057. Another group runs along Franklin Avenue toward Crown Heights.

The mix is food-forward, with Mexican, Ethiopian and pizza restaurants well represented, plus oysters at Bar Francis and Mayfield and cheap pints at Famous Last Words. Almost everything happens on weekdays, though Belli Osteria, Mayfield and Arden run their Prospect Heights happy hour every day. Tip: the C at Clinton-Washington Avenues is a one- to five-minute walk from most of the Fulton Street bars, so it is the easiest base for hopping between several in one evening.

Getting there

The C at Clinton-Washington Avenues covers the Fulton Street run, from Bar Francis and Belli Osteria to Emily, Famous Last Words and Xochitl Taqueria, and it is also the closest stop for Alta Calidad and Finn's Corner. The B and Q at 7th Avenue are a minute from 333 Lounge.

Before you go

Listed prices do not include the 8.875 percent NYC sales tax or the customary 18 to 20 percent tip, so expect to pay more than the menu says. Several windows here are short, Belli Osteria's and Emily's among them, so arrive early. Each listing shows its last-checked date, and older ones are worth a quick call.
